Dutch West Indies Chicken Kebabs - Boka Dushi by John Spottiswood

This dish offers an amazing collage of flavors blending Indonesian, Portuguese, Spanish and West African flavors. Personally, I prefer the marinade and dipping sauce on these kebabs to traditional Indonesian satay.

Chicken Braised in Coconut Milk by Kristin Chen

For a more kid-friendly, non-spicy version, just do steps 2-4. It’s still super-moist and delicious – and even faster and easier! On really rushed days, you could even skip the onion/garlic/ginger in step 3 and just add the coconut milk – it’s still good! Serve with steamed rice.

You can change out the other vegetables (spinach is a nice addition as it adds to the creaminess of the dish).
